Dear Phil
DeFranco,

They used to say news can be only be true if it’s broadcasted
on Television, that news seen online is wrong and completely made up. Every day
of the week, you combat that and make Internet history as you provide every
view to every kind of story. You bring the world the gaming, the movie, the criminal
and the sexy news to the Nation, which most people would not be aware of
without you’re efforts. You bring us more information than we would dare
consume or look up ourselves and with the spirit of a roaring fire (you are
fierce, warm and inviting) you deliver important shared knowledge to us in an
enjoyable manner that makes us wait eagerly at our screens for your PDS to finally
arrive on our YouTube Subscription pages. You truly have captured the Nation.

I started watching you within the last 2 years, and you have
really brought my attention to the bigger picture. As I am a teen, I was never
motivated enough to search news websites for stories that were not yet viral or
well known, but now on at the age of 17, I am more aware of the world because
of you. You make me inspired to be more invested and interested in the stories
and news of the world. I am fairly certain that without watching your videos
and SourceFed, I would be much less knowledgeable then I am today, which I am
forever grateful for. Now that I think about it, not only am I more cultured
but my friends and family are too. As I usually talk to my companions after
watching either one of the SourceFed videos or one of the PDS’, I spread the
word about the stories that I hear, and my amigo’s usually have had no idea about the issue I’ve
told them about. Knowing that many people are ignorant to a big chunk of the
world, it makes me appreciate you even more, because you strive to get stories
to people and phil people in on issues that need to be heard while also
providing super happy fun time news that will brighten our day.

Speaking of the SourceFed team, I’d like to applaud you and
them on a job well done. Seeing and hearing the stories and the humour in each
video make me want Monday to end even more than I already do, so that I can
jump onto my computer to watch the first story of the day. Lee Newton, Elliott
Morgan, Joe Bereta, Steve Zaragoza and Trisha Hershberger are very awesome
hosts that bring the new into news. They provide every possible option for a
view on the stories and are able to make them fun and enjoyable to watch. So thank you for creating such a channel that
can deliver us more stories as they happen or as the team sees fit. I can’t
believe it’s only been 5 months since you uploaded the first video introducing.
Since then SourceFed has engaged over 103,717,617 views and 416,553
subscribers, which is particularly amazing that you could reach so many people
in such a short amount of time.

I’d also like to take the time to wish your father the best
in finding a live Kidney donor. I wished to help out by getting tested but
sadly I am to young and not an American citizen. Regardless I will be hoping the whole ordeal
goes well.

You have made an impact on the world and I hope you keep
doing so. You are truly a modern leader and an inspiration to many. If you did read this thanks for taking the
time to read my appreciation for you and what you do.
